Installation

Q: I have purchased the SRC-System™ and now want to connect it to my intercom system which is not an SRC-System™ - what should I watch out for?A: Unfortunately we cannot provide you with any information on installing non-Schuberth systems.

Q: Is the SRC-System™ supplied already pre-installed in the helmet?A: No. Schuberth helmets are not equipped with the SRC-System™ ex works. The SRC-System™ is offered only as an optional accessory by specialised dealers.

Q: Who installs the SRC-System™ in the helmet?A: The SRC-System™ is installed according to the "plug and play principle" and can be installed in a very short time by any Schuberth customer. Please follow the installation instructions provided for this purpose in the manual.

Q: With which helmets is the SRC-System™ compatible?A: The SRC-System™ is currently compatible with the helmets S2 Sport, S2, C3 Pro, C3 Lady, C3, C3 Basic, C2 and Concept.

Q: The SRC-System™ does not fit into my Schuberth helmet?A: The SRC-System™ is offered in two sizes for the S2, Sport, S2, C3 Pro, C3 Lady, C3 and C3 Basic in accordance with the two helmet shells with the size ranges 50 – 59 and 60 – 65. Check whether the SRC-System™ matches the size of your helmet.

Q: Will the size of my helmet change when the SRC-System™is installed?A: No, the SRC-System™ has been designed to ensure maximum comfort. However, bear in mind that the acoustic collar contains a great deal of electronic components and is therefore rather fuller than the conventional acoustic collar. As a result you may feel a difference when you put on or remove your helmet.

Tip: If you routinely enlarge the helmet opening by forcing the straps apart when you put on or remove your helmet, the process will gradually feel smoother. In the course of time the stiffness of the acoustic collar will also be reduced.

Q: Can the SRC-System™ be converted to other helmet models?A: No. The SRC-System™ cannot be converted to other helmet models.Before purchasing, find out which version of the SRC-System™ is suitable for your helmet.

Q: When will the SRC-System™ be available for the helmet models S1 / S1 Pro and J1?A: No SRC-System™ for the helmet models S1 / S1Pro and J1 is currently planned.

General functions

Q: Why is it not possible to switch on the SRC-System™?A: Ensure that your SRC-System's™ battery is charged. Charge the SRC-SystemT™ for at least four hours using the power cable supplied before you place it in service for the first time.

Q: How long is the battery's operating time / stand-by time?A: At full load and under normal environmental conditions (average temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, average speed and volume) the SRC-System™ can operate for up to ten hours and can remain on stand-by for up to six days.Full load here means that during this period Bluetooth® signals can be constantly transferred to and from the SRC-System™ and can be replayed by the latter. If no constant Bluetooth® transmission takes place, e.g. if no music is played, the battery's operating time can be extended.

Q: Is there an optical display to show the battery's charge condition?A: Yes. Hold down the "Lautstärketaste AUF" (Volume UP) button for at least three seconds.

Caution: Never open the SRC-System™ yourself, but always hand your SRC-System™ over to a specialised dealer who is authorised to do so. If you open the system yourself and/or damage the seal, the guarantee will become invalid.

Q: May I open the zip on the SRC-System™?A: No. You may not open the zip yourself, and it is sealed.

Caution: Never open the SRC-System™ yourself, but always hand your SRC-System™ over to a specialised dealer who is authorised to do so. If you open the system yourself and/or damage the seal, the guarantee will become invalid.

Q: What is Bluetooth®? A: Bluetooth® is a short range radio system which was originally designed for computer peripherals and mobile devices to replace cables. The Bluetooth® radio system uses the 2.4 GHz frequency band which may be used without a licence and without registration almost everywhere in the world.
